The Lake Wilderness Arboretum is joining the celebration at Maple Valley Days, offering event parking, nursery hours and a booth at the event.

Friday through Sunday, parking at the Arboretum is available for $5 per car.

Also, the public is invited to visit the Arboretum’s booth at the event for information about volunteering, its history and special events. In addition, all gardens and trails are open to visitors.

All summer, the Arboretum nursery is open the first two Saturdays of each month from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. — including Saturday during Maple Valley Days — plus Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Experienced and novice gardeners alike can learn about and purchase a wide assortment of native and unusual plants from knowledgeable Arboretum staff and volunteers, who will help you with your selections and answer any of your gardening questions.

Many of the plants are propagated from cuttings by Arboretum volunteers, including trees, shrubs, perennials, rhododendrons, grasses, ferns and ground cover, among others. All the plants are suitable for Pacific Northwest gardens.
